3.1: Introduction & Focus

GOD CANNOT LEAD YOU ON THE BASIS OF FACTS THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW.

• DAVID BRYANT

**Step in **- Let’s focus and ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance:

Welcome to Week 3. We’ve seen God’s heart for His glory and His mission woven throughout Scripture. Now, we must face a disruptive truth: the task is not yet finished. Truth tends to be disruptive. It’s often uncomfortable. And it always requires a response. When you’re faced with truth, there are only two ways to handle it: you can receive it or reject it.

As we begin this third step, what would it be like if we approached this lesson with a posture of openness and humility before the Spirit of God? Are you willing to continue moving forward with a pre-determined “yes, Lord” on your lips? Take a moment and surrender to him as we get started.

Let’s have two or three people in the group pray to acknowledge God’s presence and to dedicate this time to the Lord asking what He wants to teach us.
